added, with smile, "for that's in de-

A strange request, you will say, my

around by Prospect Park with a brass
band and hold the auction right on the

El TORTOISE SHELL.
How LIT Is Turned Into Articles of
q tC0nmercial Value


One OF the largest tortoise shell man.
ufactories in existence is located within
half mile of City hall, says a New
York Mail writer. A visitor to this es-
adjustment found fifty men and boys
and any number Of whirling, buzzing,
saving machines at work on the shell
In all the different stages of trans
mutation from its rough state when
received, to the beautifully de-
signed ornament when finished. The
shell is first cleaned and ground
by dozen men standing before the tubs
OF water and alternately dipping the
pieces OF she'll in the water and press
ing them against small revolving grind
stones. until clean smooth surface is
produced. The clear amber shells from
the belly of the turtle are made into the
lighter varieties of ornamental pins and
combs. The darkest shells are used for
cheap combs, knife handles, rims for
eyeglasses and the like. The medium
dark with beautiful streaks of amber
running through them are the choice
specimens, and are employed for the
hneSt carved work in ornaments and
jewelry.
The small pieces would be entirely
wasted, but for the remarkable property
that tortoise shell possesses of fuSing
and welding when subjected to steam
neat and put under pressure. Pieces of
the same shade and color are selected,sO
that when welded into one piece it will
have a perfectly uniform appearance,
and cannot be distinguished from a
natural shell.
The shell passes to a long row of men
and boys. Some operate minute scroll
saws that cut out beautiful designs:
others manage turning, cutting, slicing
and stamping machines and emery and
cotton polishing wheels. Now the work
passes to the engrayerS, who cut the
shells into beautiful designs of scroll
work, flowers and fruit. The engraverS
are experts, brought over from France.
They are paid from $50 to S25 per week.
A poor engraver will ruin more work in
a day than his salary amounts to in
week. The business has chiefly grown
up within fifteen years.

The amazing growth of New York,

purse will allow. She does not put on
any airs or pretend to be what she is

Don't Suit Him.

Texas Siftings.
A fond New York wife presented her
husband with beautiful suit of blue
clothes as a birthday gift. She was
looking at him yesterday, when it struck
her that the cloth was fading. Said
she:

when you got it,"
''That is rather strange, for l feel

Coshocton Station, N. Y, Dec. %, 1884.

using your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In fact, one case, a
lady of over seventy years, had been
sick for years, and for the past ten
years 1 have known her she has not

About six months ago she got so feeble
she was helpless. Her old remedies, or
physicians, being of no avail, | sent to
Detroit, forty-fve miles, and got a
bottle of Hop Bitters. 1t had such a
very beneficial effect on her that one
